Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone [DVD] [2001]

Product Information

It`s way way way too violent for a movie targeted for children and young teenagers. Come on! The ball match scene is extremely violent, not to mention the two Chess matches. Sure, the good guy(s) win(s) eventually, but the process itself is simply too violent. Had I had any kids, I wouldn`t have let them see this movie. Not until they`re into the older part of their youths. The video transfer is good. There are no compression signs at all and the visuals are pleasing. The CG isn`t as breathtaking as I was expecting, but still, it`s cute for a kids` movie.

Until he is rescued by a beetle eyed giant of a man, enrols at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quidditch and does battle in a deadly duel. All because Harry Potter is a wizard! As I mentioned earlier, I didn`t get a chance to review the 2nd disk, thus I did not review the extras. I rated the extras 5 - the average for them so far. For a disk that was pretty well guaranteed to sell in the millions, it is a fairly disappointing product. I guess their target market was not the type of discerning adults that read DVD Reviewer!

Well it`s a new film, so what is their to be expected. It`s in nice 2.35.1, and I can`t recall the layer hop that much.

Oh, boy. Harry Potter is here. The hype was huge (people were actually lining up near the stores that sold the DVD), but does it live up to the expectations?I didn`t feel any empathy towards Harry`s character, either due to the acting or perhaps due to his eyebrows (which make him look like a clown, rather than like a magician).
